Did you know that the first Alien Vs. Predator movie was written by a first-time screenwriter? He wrote an unauthorized spec script, without getting the rights to Alien or Predator.  Know what else?  He based his script on the Dark Horse comic book of the same name and sold the script to 20th Century Fox. But today I want to share another epic battle spawned from a comic book.

In 2000, indie comic-book guy James Kochala published a graphic novel titled Monkey Vs. Robot. The legendary struggle was set to music and later turned into a low-budget music video, featuring Andy Samberg (the guy who would go onto make Saturday Night Live viral videos like "Lazy Sunday").  The flick was a hit at the Slamdance Film Festival and became a favorite on their DVD compilation.   

But is it a short horror film or a music video spoof? See for yourself here.
